🔧 My Contribution
I contributed a fix for a task-order persistence issue that caused Kanban cards to appear in incorrect positions after page refreshes.
What I changed Investigated ordering inconsistencies between drag-and-drop interactions and MongoDB-backed task storage Implemented column-wide task reindexing to maintain consistent task order Ensured task positions persisted correctly across page reloads
✅ Contribution merged into the main branch via PR #32.
